About this trial

This study aims to demonstrate that in subjects with symptomatic, inoperable plexiform neurofibromas associated with neurofibromatosis type 1, TQ-B3234 capsules significantly improve the objective response rate at Week 24 compared to placebo.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

The subject voluntarily joins this study, signs the informed consent form, and demonstrates good compliance.

Age ≥18 years (calculated from the date of signing the informed consent form).

Diagnosis of symptomatic, non-resectable neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)-associated plexiform neurofibroma (PN) requiring systemic therapy per investigator judgment.

At least one measurable lesion with a dimension ≥3 cm.

Disqualifiers

Confirmed or suspected malignant glioma or malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST) (excluding low-grade glioma, optic nerve glioma not requiring systemic therapy or radiotherapy); histological confirmation may be required.

History of or concurrent other malignancies within 5 years prior to first dosing.

Multiple factors affecting oral drug absorption (e.g., dysphagia, chronic diarrhea, intestinal obstruction, major bowel resection).

Adverse reactions from prior anti-tumor therapy not recovered to NCI CTCAE v6.0 grade ≤1, except grade 2 alopecia, grade 2 peripheral neuropathy, grade 2 anemia, non-clinically significant and asymptomatic laboratory abnormalities, and hypothyroidism stabilized by hormone replacement therapy.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • TQ-B3234 capsules

    Drug

    TQ-B3234 is an antitumor molecular targeted drug, a selective mitogen-activated protein kinase 1 and 2 (MEK1/2) inhibitor. It primarily inhibits the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MEK) protein (an upstream regulator of the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway), thereby affecting the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and suppressing cell proliferation. MEK inhibitors are recognized to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of plexiform neurofibromas associated with neurofibromatosis type 1.

  • TQ-B3234 placebo

    Drug

    TQ-B3234 placebo without drug substance.

Treatment groups

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

IRC-Assessed Objective Response Rate (ORR)

Percentage of subjects achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by independent review committee (IRC) per REiNS criteria at the end of Cycle 24.

Time frame
From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)

Secondary outcomes

1

Investigator-Assessed ORR

Percentage of subjects achieving complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by investigators per REiNS criteria.

Time frame
From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
2

IRC/Investigator-Assessed DOR

Duration of response (DOR), defined as the time from first documented confirmed objective response to disease progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), as determined by IRC/investigators per REiNS criteria.

Time frame
From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
3

IRC/Investigator-Assessed disease control rate (DCR)

Percentage of subjects achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or stable disease (SD) as determined by IRC/investigators per REiNS criteria.

Time frame
From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
4

IRC/Investigator-Assessed progression-free survival (PFS )

Time from randomization to first disease progression or death from any cause (whichever occurs first), as determined by IRC/investigators per REiNS criteria.

Time frame
From subject enrollment to the end of cycle 24 (each cycle is 28 days)
